what happened to john boehner? >> man, i don't know, john boehner is just having a rough go of it. and here is the problem, the next thing he has to do -- you have to pass a farm bill. this is like the defense appropriations. i mean, i got an e-mail from a democratic member of congress today saying just for the record, we were able to pass our farm bill, there is good stuff, a lot of bad and good stuff, you have to pass it like the defense appropriations. so john boehner now, here is the fundamental problem, the 62 no-votes was because people thought there was not enough cuts, particularly on the food cuts. so if you're john boehner he has a calculation to make, a pre-staging, which is where do i go? where do i try to bring democrats back on board? and we've seen basically what that means, this farm bill amazingly will probably get worse in the next generation. >> well, i still don't understand the calculations, melissa, john boehner has not voted on a farm bill since 1996. they thought they had enough votes for it? but he was not sure. and after the plan b debacle, this is somebod
